The mind of a contented person is always peaceful and his heart at rest .-- Baha'i Scriptures, p.
453. Animal food is not forbidden, but 'Abdu'l-Baha says:--"Fruits and grains [will be the foods of the future].
The time will come when meat will no longer be eaten.
Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground."-- Ten Days in the Light of Akka, by Julie M.Grundy. Alcohol and Narcotics The use of narcotics and intoxicants of any kind, except as remedies in case of illness, is strictly forbidden by Baha'u'llah. Enjoyments The Baha'i teaching is based on moderation, not as asceticism.
